Our third and final story from Yenworthy for Day 4 (sorry, nothing from the other sites at time of posting!). More photos available in the Yenworthy gallery.

You know how it is with getting teenagers to keep their rooms tidy. Imagine 36 crammed into small rooms with bunk beds. Even harder you'd say. Well at Yenworthy they have an ingenious system of morning room inspections where teachers get to check everyone's room for tidiness. Beds are perfectly made, floors clean and sinks sparkling and a score is given out of 10. As a parent as well as a teacher I didn't believe it would work but it did. Although we did have to ask the boys twice!

So when your teenager says they can't keep their room tidy, don't believe them. We have photographic evidence.

I wish I'd thought of this with my kids!
